8.2. If You Are New to Unix

If you are new to Unix, you probably should go out and buy some books
and do some reading. A lot of valuable information can also be found
in the Debian Reference.
This list of Unix FAQs contains a
number of UseNet documents which provide a nice historical reference.

Linux is an implementation of Unix. The
Linux Documentation Project (LDP)
collects a number of HOWTOs and online books
relating to Linux. Most of these documents can be installed locally;
just install the doc-linux-html package (HTML
versions) or the doc-linux-text package (ASCII
versions), then look in /usr/share/doc/HOWTO.
International versions of the LDP HOWTOs are also available as Debian
packages.
